        “Two more injured people — men aged 43 and 54 — are Red Cross employees. They were on their way to work when the Russian attack caught them on the road. Medics are providing all the necessary assistance to those injured,” the statement said.

        Traffic across the bridge over the Dnipro has been temporarily suspended due to the consequences of the attack.
